A Mr. Tufta

I would agree with Mr. Tufta's arguments that power point is a bad thing. I thought his point about the school children children learning how to formulate client pitches rather than writing a report using sentences is a rather interesting observation. I feel that as time goes on it will become more and more about the pitch and less about the written reports. The ultimate goal is to integrate the students into the workplace so the pitch is really all they have to learn is the pitch. It is kind of sad but that is the mentality of the school's these days. Power point affects audience interpretation by not being really clear. Every thing is crunched into a few slides, there is now way to really discuss and get to the heart of the topic you are discussing. Overall PowerPoint is a mess I hated using it in high school and I hate using it now. It might be neat but I feel that you lose the clearness that you get in a paper where you have room to explain your topic.
